There are different types of cement which vary according to their composition,
characteristics and applications. Thus, there are cements for a wide range of
construction needs. In the industrial production of cement processes are
observed that go from the extraction of the limestone, happening through the
transport of raw materials, trituracin, pre-homogenizacin, storage and grinding
of the prime matter, homogenizacin of the raw flour, calcining and grinding until

Cement is a basic material for the construction of buildings and civil works. The
production of the cement industry is directly related to the construction sector in

1995, cement production in the EUROPEAN UNION reached 172 million tons,
equivalent to 12% of world production.
